This review made us smile big time!! We love helping people celebrate their special moments 🥰🎉

“SPECTACULAR! I booked for my husband's 60th and our wedding anniversary. We were greeted by Mizuki, (gorgeous, genuinely friendly) who read notes on arrival and was quick to wish a happy birthday. She seated us at a table with a happy birthday runner and then also gave us a cute anniversary gift with love heart charm and chocolates. Nice touch!

I started with a Watermelon cocktail 😋

We ordered the Australian Sampler Plate with all meats and seafood cooked to perfection and condiments etc delish. The bacon mushroom linguine and garlic bread also amazing. The service was excellent and attentive and as we were about to leave Mizuki asked us to wait a moment and then came back out with a beautiful pavlova, with Turkish floss and a sparkler.

Seriously exceptional service and food. Thanks team for making it memorable 😍”

Dear Facebook algorithm, please help us find people living in, and visiting Cairns, who love waterfront dining, fresh seafood, Aussie bush tucker, delicious beef, pasta, salads; and would love to visit a local iconic restaurant that is celebrating it’s 40th birthday this year.
